Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

Exposure to high ambient temperatures is associated with lower connectivity in three brain networks in preadolescents, suggesting that heat may impact brain function. Exposure to high ambient ...

A growing body of neuroscience research is challenging the long-held assumption that general anesthesia works by simply switching the brain off. Instead, multiple independent studies now point to a ...

Imagine if keeping your brain in top shape was as routine as brushing your teeth in the morning or exercising before work. Brain health is more than simply the absence of disease; it is the state of ...

The largest study yet into the effects of cannabis on the brains of 18- to 36-year-olds has found that the drug can reduce brain function during cognitive tests. The findings will help people to make ...
